Factors of 843
List of positive integer factors of 843 that divides 843 without a remainder.
1,3,281,843
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 21,39,843 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 21,39,843 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 70,239,549
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 9184770
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/9184770
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 21/70,39/239,843/549 is 3/9184770
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 70,239,549 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(70,239,549) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(70,239,549) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(70,239,549) = ( 70 × 239 × 549 ) / 1
LCM(70,239,549) = 9184770 / 1
LCM(70,239,549) = 9184770
